About this guide

You do not need to read the QuarkCopyDesk® documentation from beginning to end.

Instead, use this guide to quickly look up information, find out what you need to know,

and get on with your work.

What we're assuming about you

In writing this guide, we assume that you are familiar with your computer and know how

to:

• Launch an application

• Open, save, and close files

• Use menus, dialog boxes, and palettes

• Work within a networked computing environment

• Use the mouse, keyboard commands, and modifier keys

Consult the documentation provided with your computer or other resources if you need

more information in any of these areas.

Where to go for help

If you're new to QuarkCopyDesk, or if you want to explore one of its other longstanding

features, consult the following resources:

• A Guide to QuarkCopyDesk

• QuarkCopyDesk Help

• Third-party books

• General books about desktop publishing

If your issues are at the system level — saving files, moving files, activating fonts, for

example — consult the documentation resources provided with your computer.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Conventions

Formatting conventions highlight information to help you quickly find what you need.

• Bold type style: The names of all dialog boxes, fields, and other controls are set in bold

type. For example: "Click OK."

• References: In descriptions of features, parenthetical references guide you in accessing

those features. For example: "The Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu) lets you find and

replace text."

• Arrows: You will often see arrows (>), which map out the menu path to a feature. For

example: "Choose Edit > Style Sheets to display the Style Sheets dialog box."

• Icons: Although many tools and buttons are referenced by name, which you can see by

displaying ToolTips, in some cases icons are shown for easy identification. For example,

"Click the button on the Measurements palette to center text."

• Cross-platform issues: This application is quite consistent across operating systems. However,

some labels, buttons, key combinations, and other aspects of the application must differ

between Mac OS® and Windows® because of user interface conventions or other factors.

In such cases, both the Mac OS and Windows versions are presented, separated by a slash,

with the Mac OS version presented first. For example, if the Mac OS version of a button

is labeled Select, and the Windows version is labeled Browse, you are directed to "Click

Select/Browse." More complex cross-platform differences are mentioned in notes or

parenthetical statements.

Technology note

Quark developed QuarkCopyDesk for Mac OS and Windows to give publishers control

over typography, color, and collaboration, particularly with content in QuarkXPress®

projects. In addition to unique typographic controls, QuarkCopyDesk offers comprehensive

font management with TrueType®, OpenType®, and Unicode® support. Designers can

use PANTONE® (the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM®), Trumatch®, Focoltone®, DIC®,

and Toyo to add color to articles.

You can import files from applications such as Microsoft® Word, WordPerfect®, Adobe®

Illustrator®, and Adobe Photoshop®. You can output content as PostScript® or in PDF

format for Adobe Acrobat® Reader®. Using features such as Composition Zones®, you can

be sure that multiple people share specifications to produce consistent publications, even

while working on a single publication simultaneously.

The QuarkCopyDesk software architecture lets you and software developers expand

publishing capability. Through XTensions® software technology, third-party developers

can create custom modules for QuarkCopyDesk. QuarkXTensions® (Quark® XTensions

software) also provide a modular approach for meeting your particular publishing needs.

And if you can write AppleScript® scripts, you can use this scripting language from Apple®

to automate many QuarkCopyDesk activities.
